Panayiotis Kokoras studied composition with Yannis Ioannides, Henri Kergomard, Kosta Varotsi, and classical guitar with Evangelos Asimakopoulos in Athens, Greece. In 1999, he moved to England for postgraduate study at the University of York where he completed his MA and PhD in composition with Tony Myatt. His works have been commissioned by institutes and festivals such as the Fromm Music Foundation (Harvard), IRCAM (France), Guggenheim (New York), MATA (New York), Gaudeamus (Netherlands), ZKM (Germany), IMEB (France), Siemens Musikstiftung (Germany) and have been performed in over 1000 concerts around the world. His compositions have received 98 distinctions and prizes in international competitions and have been selected by juries in more than 350 international calls for scores. He is president of the International Confederation of Electroacoustic Music (ICEIM-ICEM) and a founding member of the Hellenic Electroacoustic Music Composers Association (HELMCA) and from 2004 to 2012 he was a board member and president. Kokoras’ sound compositions develop functional classification and matching sound systems written on what he calls Holophonic Musical Texture. As an educator, Kokoras has taught at the Technological and Educational Institute of Crete, and, the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece). Currently, he is Regents Professor of Composition at the University of North Texas and director of the Center for Experimental Music and Intermedia (CEMI).

Morgan (he/him, USA/DE) is a practice-based music researcher whose output sits in the experimental field between academia and club music.

His work spans live electronic music, curation, lecture-workshops, panel discussions and the development of sample packs, tuning systems and other musical strategies to engage with materiality, diaspora, and the thoughtful resynthesis of new/traditional music.

Morgan's music productions draw from an archipelagic range of influences and intrinsic reverence for experimental computer dance music that can be described as playful, abrasive, promiscuous, feral and eclectic.

Last year, he released his debut album on Chinabot, which The Wire called "…a gently vaporous hulk of melancholia."

Morgan has performed at Cafe Oto, presented at CTM Festival, co-curated Soydivision's long-running Soy&Synth series, organized an online album co-release festival with folk-doom metal band Senyawa and 44 labels (mentioned in NYT, CDM), and was interviewed by Ableton about Latent Sonorities, a project that expands public access to sonic heritage for transcultural experimentation and research.

Michael (b. 1999) is a composer of acoustic, acousmatic and electroacoustic music. Internationally acclaimed for his implementation of electroacoustic and aleatoric concepts in both acoustic and electronic musical paradigms. At the core of his current music research, he explores the poly-holophonic gestural synchronicities and tensions between voices through quasi-procedural granulations, spectromorphological sonic sculpting, stochastic algorithmic modelling, machine-learning decisional procedures and generative synthesis.
 
In 2022, he was the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellow at Hong Kong Baptist University investigating the topic Motion Driven Human Artificial Intelligence Collaborative Music Composition and Performing System. He was selected for residency at the Hong Kong New Music Ensemble as part of the CoLab: Sonic-Visual Interplay project in 2023. At the São Paulo Contemporary Composers Festival in the Summer of 2024, Scrawling Palimpsest premiered with L’Arianna Quarteto. In the Luigi Nono Summer School at the Orpheus Institute (Ghent), he attended seminars and masterclasses extensively on Nono’s music and historically informed electronic practices by Jonathan Impett and Juan Parra Cancino.
 
Michael has studied composition extensively with Kenneth Hesketh, Alison Kay, Christopher Keyes and Stylianos Dimou, and has taken specialist IRCAM courses with Simone Conforti on electroacoustic music.
